What Pain It May Bring

chapter 2

Derek was sitting on the porch watching the last of the sunrise....he sighed....his mother and him use to do this all the time....just watch the sun rise...drink coffee and watch the sunrise.... he could get Stiles to do it every now and then...it was his mission to make him love mornings.... he smiled to himself... he could hear his pack sleeping...damn teenagers...Peter was out on his morning run... he like the rest of the Hales loved the mornings...that brisk cool air as the sun slowly makes it's way over the mountains...it was breathtaking...everyday,

His phone began buzzing... he thought to himself it was Stiles... this was the shortest time he had taken to forgive Derek...he looked at his phone...his smile disappeared... it was the sherrif...Stiles' dad was calling..he's gotten these calls before....the father yelling at him for making his son cry and hurt... he sighed...this was so going to ruin his morning...he just didn't know how much it would ruin it.

"Yes sir....what can I do for you?" Derek said as politely as an alpha could.

"Derek...Stiles is there right?" John asked

"No...we got in a bit of a fight yesterday...he stormed out... it was like noon yesterday." Derek said.. he felt kind of tense.

"Derek he hasn't been home... I can tell...everything is the same as it was when I left yesterday evening ..... I've tried calling...but it keeps going to voicemail...Derek?" John was now really scared.

"John don't worry..maybe he's at Scott's house....he went home last night..he didn't stay either." Derek said....but he knew the teen hadn't been at Scott's in over eight months. Not that that idiot noticed.

"Derek....you know how they are now....Stiles won't even answer when I ask about Scott." the man said softly.... Derek could tell he was shaking over the phone.

"Don't worry ...I'll get the pack and we will find him.... I know his scent.... I can find him...we can find him!" Derek said.... his muscles feeling tighter as his body tensed up.

"I believe you...Derek...he's all I have left... I promised his mother I'd keep him safe...I can't fail her ..I can't l-lose him... I couldn't make it without him.." John said...Derek could hear the tears falling from his eyes.

"neither could I...neither could I." Derek said into his phone."I'll call you as soon as we have something."

He hung up the phone...his stomach felt like it was turning over and over inside him.... If anything happened to him...it was his fault...he was a horrible mate to Stiles....but he would make it up to him... he would show him.... they had the rest of their lives together... he just had to find him... make sure he's safe...and hold him tight and love him... just like Stiles did everyday to him...the teen gave him every ounce of love he had...freely...uncondionally... it staggered Derek's heart sometimes...that some one without agendas just wanted to love him......to make him happy....because no one in the world deserved it more than Derek did... what did he do to get some one like Stiles... he never asked for anything but time with him.....and that time was presious to both of them....Stiles made him laugh... it was the first real one he had since his family were killed ..... Stiles always said they were made for each other..they were yen and yang....mind you Derek was an angry brooding quiet yen ...and he was yang...all chaos and loud....talkative....perfect together...and Derek always messed it up...but Stiles always forgives him.

Derek howled for his pack....it was an emergency howl....everyone heard it...even the sherrif... who seemed to be holding his breath till he heard...he knew that would find his som... he knew two things..the werewolves could find him... and Derek always kept him safe... he thought no one was a better fit for his son... they were perfect for each other....and the way they looked at each other.....the love in their eyes.... everytime he saw it, he thought of his wife....it hurt some, but it brought Stiles such happiness.... he sighed and went to look for Stiles himself... it would keep his mind occupied till Derek found him.
